To Arizona:
Matthew Freytag (72)
Matthew Murphy (51)

To Colorado:
Luke Ripley (83)
Nathan Bastian (63)

Colorado accepts. More big changes. The addition of Pavelski and Vatanen left Freytag out of the top six and Bastian is a good replacement for Shaw on my third line. I'm ready to give up on Murphy, with the full knowledge he could turn into a #2 or #3 dman for the Yotes. Ripley adds yet another big hitter to my blue line. Adding more muscle to balance out the recent trades for skill.

Confirmed. Freytag brings much needed offense with the season-ending injury to Gusev. Murphy is a cheaper 3rd pairing d-man that helps balance out the financial impact of the deal.
